6 thoughts on “Mental illness and relationships”

Everyone needs to be taken care of, that is when we feel connected. I think if you can’t show your vulnerable site in a relationship (like asking for help when needed) and you can’t be nurtured (someone who accept your question for help), the relationship can’t florish. Don’t we connect through fun and less fun times? And when you feel nurtured in a relationship, you can take care of your partner. It is not a one way street. Maybe people think too much in terms of material things when they hear ‘I want to be taken care of’. But being provided with all the material things you ‘need’ won’t make a relationship last. Good topic!

I think nurturing is a very good thing in a relationship. I’d say it’s problematic to become so dependent on a partner that you’re no longer capable of doing things on, but if there’s no mutual support and nurturing what’s the point of a relationship?
